Santa Barbara’s engagement with collage as a fine art form dates back to the mid 1950s when William Dole (1917-1983) began to make the delicate paper collages that eventually brought him international acclaim. The city’s first assemblage artist was John Bernhardt (1921-1963). This exhibition presents plenty of historical works, but it also tracks current practice.
